The Huawei S9700 series are high-end core routing switches designed for data centers and next-generation campus networks, offering high-performance L2/L3 switching, service integration, and advanced reliability features.

Overview and Models

The S9700 series includes three models: S9703, S9706, and S9712, supporting a maximum of 3, 6, and 12 line processing units (LPUs), respectively. These switches are designed for core and aggregation layers in data centers, providing high-density 10G connectivity and non-blocking performance. They support service integration such as MPLS VPN, hardware IPv6, desktop cloud, video conferencing, and wireless access.

Hardware and Power Specifications

Chassis and Cooling: Compact chassis with left-to-back airflow design for efficient cabling and reduced power consumption. Power Supply: DC input: Rated -48 V DC/-60 V DC, range -40 V DC to -72 V DCAC input: Rated 110 V AC/220 V AC, 50/60 Hz, range 90 V AC to 290 V AC; output power reduces to half when input is 90–175 V AC. Line Cards: Supports X2S, X2E, X2H, and X1E cards with Huawei Ethernet Network Processor (ENP) for agile switching capabilities.

Networking and Reliability Features

Switching: High-performance L2/L3 switching with hardware-based OAM/BFD, VRRP, and IP FRR for service continuity. Link Aggregation: Eth-Trunk technology ensures link-level reliability without STP or VRRP, simplifying configuration. High Availability: CSS (Cluster Switching System) technology allows one switch to take over if another fails.

WA

N Access: Supports POS, PPP, HDLC, and IP-Trunk interfaces for wide area network connectivity. Service and Security CapabilitiesSPU Integration: Service Processing Units (SPUs) provide firewall, NAT, IPSec, and NetStream services. User Management: Unified authentication for wired and wireless users using 802.

1X, MAC address, and Portal authentication. Virtualization: Super Virtual Fabric (SVF) technology virtualizes fixed switches into line cards and APs into switch ports.

Application Scenarios

The S9700 is suitable for data center core/aggregation layers, next-generation campus networks, and environments requiring high reliability, load balancing, and service integration. Its compact design and energy-efficient architecture make it ideal for high-density deployments.

Summary

The Huawei S9700 series combines high-performance switching, advanced reliability, flexible service integration, and WAN connectivity. Its modular design, support for multiple line cards, and virtualization capabilities make it a versatile solution for enterprise and data center networks, ensuring service continuity, simplified management, and reduced total cost of ownership.
